2004 Farm: Robert Pierce « WNC AgOptions

2004 Farm: Robert Pierce

Rob came to us with the proposal to utilize a two-acre parcel of land that is potentially suitable for organic vegetables. Rob’s goal was to eliminate conventional tillage and erosion, reduce undesirable chemical residue and run-off, and raise produce and ornamentals for retail.

Expected income over two-year period is $13,000.

"This plan would not be feasible without your help and assistance."
